Starting with my first Colorado fourteener ascent in July 1990, the following is a list of all the Colorado peaks that I have climbed to date. In summary, I have made a total of 418 fourteener ascents, some over 30 times (Grays Peak 36 Quandary Peak 34, Mount Bierstadt 43), and have climbed approximately 275 distinct Colorado peaks during approximately 860 ascents.

Peak-bagging can be a healthy and rewarding hobby, one that will take you into beautiful remote alpine areas that few people get a chance to see. It's a endeavor that I highly recommend, but with a caveat. It is not one without danger, and the lists can get people who don't know their limits, over their heads and into trouble. The annual publication of Accidents In North American Mountaineering is full of stories about peak-baggers who were over their heads on the harder fourteeners, and suffered deadly consequences.Be prepared... Peak-bagging also involves a lot of driving to distant locations and on lots of 4WD roads to climb to some high peaks. And beware...for some people (myself included) the high (pun intended) can become addictive and all-consuming.

This period of my life was one one the most exciting, and one that I will fondly remember, but over the past few years my passion for climbing has waned and somewhere along the line I lost what I used to refer to as "The Shine".

I still climb, but I have resigned from the lists. I quit the game of peak-bagging, but not before giving it a pretty decent run.
